It's not public and I assume it just to get the PoC working. Threads 
usually inherit at Thread creation time (rather than start time which 
can be problematic sometimes when an unstarted Thread is passed around). 
In any case, my reading of this PoC is that its for one scenario/usage 
only as it doesn't prevent the scoped binding in the parent from being 
closed (or mutated?) and I assume it doesn't work with thread pools 
where the setup/tear-down is around the task rather than the thread. 
This area will likely require many rounds of exploration and prototyping.
